My name change is actually not due to marriage, making it much more difficult I suppose . In reply to the last post, I have another question. Are you saying that I can have my name changed in the United States, no problem, but just that I will not be able to have that same name change appear on the Swiss Passport? Id still have the citizenship, but just under the previous name? I know I definitely need to look into this any way, but I just wanted to see if anyone could give me some ideas of what kind of trouble I may be looking at!
